As you may have read in my ‘transitioning to whole foods’ posts, it was a slow and steady transition from standard western diet to one filled with nutrient-dense whole foods.

Sneaky Work-outs
Two and a bit years ago I wrote this post about bringing the motivation and fun back to exercise. This was when I first started blogging and I sure could rave on (to the point where just reading the damn post was a work-out for the optic nerves!!!).
These days, where possible, I’m trying to cut my posts down so you can just read them – get the gist, implement what you want, and get on with your day.
Smashing Sardine Salad
Another “throw-it-together” meal (like yesterday’s salmon recipe) that is super-duper simple and packs a flavour punch. As long as you’ve dedicated time to innovative meal prep earlier in the day or week, you can have this baby ready in mere minutes.
Probs my last GAPS post for a while.
Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.
Well GAPSters it’s been real, but as you probably read in this post, I’m finally transitioning off the healing GAPS diet and introducing some nutrient-dense starches back into my diet.
I’ve learned so much on GAPS, though I feel it’s time for me to move on, after all, this is not a forever protocol.
The end of an era
Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.
Well sweet friends, those of you that have been reading this blog for a while may remember how In late January last year I began my GAPS healing and what a learning curve it has been!
I began the protocol at a time where I wasn’t actually doing all that badly on the health front. My liver function tests were in the healthy range, I was fit, thriving and loving life (no mental health issues).
Real Food Regrets
In this post I promised a follow up blog where I described my main mistakes when trying to work out what food choices suited my body the best. These mistakes are not regrets (so, my apologies for the title, I just really like alliteration). I learned a lot from making them.
That said, if I can possibly help you avoid running into similar problems yourself, then consider me having taken one many for the team.
My Favourite Green Smoothie
I have updated this post (I am writing to you in June 2019 and the post was originally written in 2016). It was wordy. Yawn! This smoothie doesn’t need a rant. It just needs to be embraced.
An even tastier variation is available in my glorious paperback; Periods, Poo & A Glorious You but for now, the original base recipe will do just dandily.
Standing strong in your personal power
I’ve learned a major lesson over the past 5 months – one that I feel is too important not to share.
You may remember that I had a liver biopsy in January and experienced internal bleeding – catch up here. Despite the pain, uncomfortable recovery period and anaesthetic side effects, it thankfully showed me the results I wanted (a real life example of autoimmunity in remission) .
5 Easy Rituals for a Better Day
Oh how I love me a good ritual. They take ordinary tasks to the next level and remind me to take some time for myself, even if it’s just a few minutes out of a whole, full, busy day. Below are my 5 favourite quick and easy rituals that don’t really take any extra time out of your day (maybe a minute here or there at the most!), but will leave you feeling uber pumped and full of warm fuzzies!
